Our Commentary ​

Remix 3 dropping its React dependency is a monumental shift. We've seen frameworks try to decouple from their UI layers before, but for Remix, this feels like a true re-invention. It opens up so many possibilities for developers who love Remix's conventions but prefer other UI libraries. And pnpm 12 in Rust? Yes, please! Faster package management is always welcome. It's a good day for web tooling.
